Axew

Like Ash's Pikachu, it doesn't go in its PokéBall, and when needs to retreat, hides in Iris' hair, coming out to eat when necessary. It hasn't been used in battle much, but when it does, it is shown not to be totally strong and is likely to be a very young Pokémon but knows the move Fury Swipes. Despite this, it knows the move Dragon Rage which can cause massive destruction when needed. It was seen to dream of evolving all the way up to be an Haxorus. During the Don Battle Tournament, Axew was used against Golett where it learned the move "Outrage"

Iris sent out her Excadrill when her Axew got captured by a wild Scolipede. Excadrill is an incredibly powerful Pokémon and has powerful moves such as Drill Run, Dig and Metal Claw which makes Excadrill a powerhouse of Iris' team. When it is sent out, it spins around, folding its arms and head together like a drill. It however does not always obey Iris and requires coaxing before it will battle its opponents. It turns out, it evolved from Drilbur during a battle tournement in Village of Dragons. However, after a loss to Drayden's Haxorus, it started to doubt its trainer and began its time of disobeying. After battling a Beartic, Excadrill soon learned to accept Iris for the trainer she is and started to obey after a night of training to use Focus Blast.

Iris met Emolga on the way to Nimbasa City. This Emolga is a rather devious Emolga who uses its looks and Attract move in order to trick people into giving it its own way, such as a bunch of Berries. Despite Bianca wanting to capture it, it decided to join Iris after growing a bond with Axew and Iris after being pursued by a flock of Swoobat. Emolga has many powerful attacks including Volt Switch, Discharge and Hidden Power.

Iris met Dragonite within Undella Town where it was accused of causing blackouts. Iris instantly grew a connection with Dragonite, managing to heal its injuries and help defend it against people who were blaming it for the blackout. It eventually chose to join Iris. Dragonite is an incredibly strong Pokémon with powerful moves like Thunderpunch, Ice Beam and Flamethrower. However, as seen in the World Tournament, it relies more on its instincts in battle, often ignoring what Iris says in order to win the battle

Iris encountered Gible when in the Johto region after it had been caught doing various bits of damage to a town in Johto, eating benches and digging holes due to being separated from its home. While the town wanted to catch it, Iris defended it and eventually befriended it after saving it from a fall on the town's clock. Iris returned it to its home, but it later found her again and joined her. Its battle strengths are not known

Iris met Drilbur while playing with some Pokémon in Opelucid City. After continually trying to befriend it, Drilbur got caught in some vines over a cliff and Iris saved him. It soon joined Iris and the two became an unstoppable team in a tournament in Opelucid City. It had attacks such as Fury Swipes, Mud Slap and Drill Run. It eventually evolved in battle with a Druddigon
